Over Rated Course

For the price you pay, this course is definitely not worth it. I don't understand why people favour inland links inspired courses. I true links should be beside the sea. Getting Montgomery to design a course for Carton was a bad idea in my opinion. He was always going to favour a links inspired course being from Scotland. The conditions of the course were great but the holes were incredibly boring. I've played a lot of links course with spectacular holes here and there. This course only had two notable holes, the first and the last holes. Palmerstown Stud is a much better option for a round of golf in Kildare.
